Are there any for people with AVMs?or that have had a stroke? I got all A's and one A- last semester, but will likely miss this semester because of medical bills and whatnot...

I agree with Ninna. Financial aid would not be specific to AVMs, but your handicapped status sould protect you and "level the playing field" legally. I know a blind man who received grant $ throughout college. He was such an inspiration b/c he commuted by bus, along with his guide dog. Like you, he was able to keep an A average despite his disability. Wishing you all the best in 2013!

Make an appointment to speak to your financial aid counselor in your school :) They should be able to have financial aid gifts (scholarships, grants and various types of free money)to help you pay for tuition. Hopefully, crossing fingers for you!
